Sports Imports provides multi-sport net systems that allow various combinations of volleyball, badminton, and pickleball to be played on the same court. With adaptable floor sleeves, dual-use poles, and equipment storage solutions, facilities can maximize space, increase programming, and protect long-term investments. Founded in 1976, Sports Imports introduced in-ground volleyball installations to the United States and continues to be trusted nationwide — with over 94% of Division I NCAA women’s volleyball programs using Sports Imports equipment.
Our volleyball and badminton poles are engineered to serve as common poles, reducing the need for additional installations. When floorplates are installed close together, it can be more efficient to merge them into one central floorplate and sleeve. The pole that fits into this sleeve becomes a common pole—allowing nets to attach on both sides. With common poles, facilities can run three nets with just four poles, or four nets with only five poles.
This streamlined layout maximizes playable space and reduces costs by requiring fewer floorplates, sleeves, and poles, as well as less labor during installation. It’s a smart solution that delivers both performance and efficiency.
Sports Imports equipment is designed for seamless transitions across multiple sports, giving facilities the flexibility to maximize programming and space.
All posts and nets are engineered for seamless use with either 3” or 1.5” sleeves, making transitions between volleyball, badminton, and pickleball fast and hassle-free.
At Sports Imports, we know that the foundation of a successful facility starts long before the first serve. That’s why we provide detailed written specifications outlining the exact equipment your project requires. These specifications can be shared with architects and project managers, ensuring that when your project goes to bid, everyone understands your goals for programming, court layout, and the industry-leading equipment needed for long-term performance and flexibility.
When it comes to installation, timing matters, and in most cases, floorplates and sleeves should be installed after your floor is striped. By choosing an inground net system, your facility gains the ability to swap seamlessly between volleyball, badminton, and pickleball. No tools, no drilling — just quick and accurate net height changes that minimize downtime and keep your courts in play.
Anyone who has experienced new construction knows it’s always better to do it right the first time. Early engagement with Sports Imports helps you maximize playable space, increase programming opportunities, and protect both your flooring and equipment investments. With our guidance, your multi-sport courts will meet the standards of high schools, colleges, and community facilities from the very beginning — setting your program up for success.
A single court can host a volleyball match, transform into side-by-side badminton courts, or be converted into pickleball courts. This flexibility allows facilities to expand programs, increase rental income, and maximize every square foot of their gym.
With multi-sport layouts and smart storage solutions, nets, poles, and training tools are easy to organize and move between activities. Our wall-mounted storage systems free up valuable floor space, giving you more room for competition while keeping your facility efficient and safe.
